Political Unrest is Good for the Church (What Egypt Taught Me about being a Christian)
I was recently in the Middle East for a vacation in Iraq. Kidding. I was indeed in the Middle East, but it wasn’t Iraq, and nobody goes to the Middle East for vacation these days.

Doubts: Yours and Mine
Yesterday I was working my way through some blog posts I needed to catch up on, and I ran across an intriguing invitation at PositiveWriter.com. It was a writing contest called “Overcoming Writer’s Doubt” and it challenged writers to open up about a moment when they overcame doubt. But as I filed through my memoryContinue reading “Doubts: Yours and Mine”

He writes, “Though grief does not smother hope, neither does hope smother grief.” Death is a reality everyone must face, and it presents a distinct and important challenge for the Christian.
